Morning commute OF DEATH!

It’s no secret that I hate Orlando drivers. Today I had another reason to hate them.

There was a pick up truck in front of me with all kinds of crap in the back. We both needed to merge into a major street. There was no traffic coming our way, well, there was, but it was almost a block away. There was plenty of time for the both of us, and several other cars, to merge.

So he starts going and suddenly he stops for no reason whatsoever. I had to slam on my brakes and I ended up inches from him.

But that was the least of my problems. He finally decides that he can merge and I follow him. This is a 3 lane road. I had gone to the left-most lane, he was in the right-most lane but then decided he wanted to be in the middle lane. So he does it pretty quickly only to have this humongous metal tube come out of the back of his track and fly towards my car.

What followed was something out of an action movie. Thankfully I was able to avoid it. I still have no idea how I did it without hitting any other cars that by that point were around me. But somehow I ended up OK.
